Hi again guys!!!! Sorry that this took so long- I completely forgot about this story!!! L Sorry again! Alright, in this story we left off with Cyborg calling Star to Robin's room, so Rob and Star could talk… Alright! So let's get this party started!
Also; so sorry about the crappy spelling/grammar/paragraphs!! Hope it goes well from now on! (P.S. I'm fixing the first chapters and replacing them, so if you want to go back and read them so they make more sense, then go ahead :D)
Jerry: Yes. We are so sorry. But most of all… YOU SHOULD BE SORRY CARP!
Carp: Why me?!
Jerry: * holds up the crying pencil * Look at what you did to the pencil!!! He's devastated about the pen!
Carp: hey, pens don't get smaller!
Jerry: Pencil's don't stop working!
Carp: They do so!
Jerry: Well, only when they get small!
Carp: See? Pens are more improved!
Jerry: * gasps * Shut up! She'll hear you!

Jerry: Well…
Carp: Oh my… Pull the curtains Jerry.
Jerry: * high-pitched voice * "Pull the curtains Jerry, a pen is better Jerry" blah blah blaaaaahhh…
Carp: * glares *
Starfire's eyes widened in confusion.
"Cyborg, what is wrong?"
Cyborg shrugged and shook his head, just as confused as she was.
"I don't know, but I think It has something to do with whatever happened between you two. He says he's hearing voices that are saying things about you, and whatever that subconscious is saying, it's affecting him bad… Real bad."
Starfire's eyes closed, and tears were on the brink of flowing over, but she opened her eyes and nodded.
"I will be present soon."
Terra opened her door to step outside into the hallway, her destination being the roof of the tower. She closed her door and turned, raising an eyebrow as Starfire ran past her, and down the hallway, and she took a moment to think of why she wasn't flying.
"Maybe something happened with Robin?" She shook her head as she thought aloud, continuing her short walk to the roof, opening the metal door at the top of the staircase and closing it gently behind her.
It was almost midnight, and the stars were shining bright, charming the skies with their delicate light as they surrounded the moon, which shone at its brightest in the sky.
She looked over at a noise, and saw Beastboy, his legs hanging flaccid off the edge of the roof, his arms at his sides, propping him up on the surface, his eyes looking steadfastly at the moon. Terra smiled and walked over, sitting down next to him, and he turned, smiling at her features.
"Hey Terra. What's up?"
She shook her head and smiled, looking at the heavens.
"Nothing… Just came up here for the view."
Beastboy smiled, placing his hand over hers, getting her to look at him, and she smiled at his content manifestation.
"The view just came here."
Terra blushed lightly and laughed as Beastboy moved closer to her, pulling her down with him as he lay back on the rooftop, her head automatically going to his torso as they mutually looked up at the stunning navy sky.
Starfire rushed through Robin's doorway and froze, her eyes landing upon Robin's crying form, which was huddled up into a ball against his bed frame, his arms around his legs, his head buried into his knees, his pants soaked with tears of vulnerability and fear.
Cyborg put an arm on Starfire's shoulder and she looked up at him as he nodded, leaving the room as the door closed behind him, leaving the room silent, the only noise being Robin's gentle sobbing.
Starfire slowly stepped towards him, kneeled down, and placed a hand on his arm, and he stopped crying for a moment, but did not look up.
"Robin," her whisper was so quiet it could barely be heard, but the room was even quieter, so therefore it got through to the distraught boy, "Robin, please… Do not cry… I do not like to see you this way."
He buried his head deeper into his knees, as if thinking that if he could curl up even more, he may disappear into nothing. Starfire shook her head, pulling his arms away from his legs, reaching under his chin and lifting his head, looking into his shining eyes which were overflowing with tears that held much more emotion than the both of them were accustomed to.
She wiped the tears off of his face, and he closed his eyes, reveling in the softness of her touch, the scent of her body.
"Robin, please I implore you… Do not keep crying… I can not stand to see you cry…"
He opened his eyes and looked at her, and she had placed her forehead on his knees, and was too, crying. He lifted one of his hands to her head, and began to stroke her hair soothingly as she cried, wetting his tights even more. He closed his eyes tightly as the voice began to scold him for still holding her, for still loving her like the gorgeous thing she was. He had to ask her now; he had to know if she was telling the truth, now…
"Starfire…"
She lifted her head at the call of her name and looked up at him, his blue eyes boring into her, searching her for something as he spoke.
"You… You won't leave me… Because I can't…" He closed his eyes again, sighing, and then opened them, once again searching her. "Will you?"
Starfire was stunned by his words; she would never leave him. She loved him with a passion, like the scent of a thousand roses, like the feel of every rainfall, like the beauty of billions of stars…
"Robin… I will never leave your side; you are my best friend, and I love you more than I thought I could. You are the only one I can truly open up to, and when I am with you feel nothing but sheer joy. Whatever made you think I would leave you because you cannot partake in intercourse with me is not true. I love you, and I believe I was 'caught in the moment' when I tried to do so… Robin, I am the sorry. Please; do not ever believe I will leave you. I love you, Dick; nothing could ever change that."
Robin looked at her, his face covered in shock; she had just opened her heart up to him, and he felt so honored to hear all of that from her. He closed his eyes, a smile of sheer ecstasy falling upon his features. He leaned forward, kissing her softly, his left hand resting upon her shoulder, his right caressing her cheek.
She put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, and the radio turned on suddenly and began to play a song the two of them had never heard…

Broken, this fragile thing now…
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces…
And I've thrown my words all around…
But I can't, I can't give you a reason…
I feel so broken up, so broken up…
And I give up, and I give up…
Just wanna tell you so you know…
Here I go, scream my lungs out…
And try to get to you…
You are my only one…
I let go…
There's just no one…
That gets me like you do…
You are my only, my only one…
Made my mistakes, let you down…
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long…
I ran my whole life in the ground…
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone…
Somethin' is breakin' up, it's breakin' up…
I feel like givin' up, like givin up…
I won't walk out until you know…
Here I go, scream my lungs out…
And try to get to you…
You are my only one…
I let go…
But there's just no one…
That gets me like you do…
You are my only, my only one…
Here I go, so dishonestly…
Leave a note, for you my only one…
And I know, you can see right through me…
So let me go, and you will find someone…
Here I go, scream my lungs out…
And try to get to you…
You are my only one…
I let go, But there's just no one…
No one like you…
You are my only, my only one…
My only one…
My only…
Starfire pulled away from Robin and looked into his eyes as they shone like diamonds and she smiled at the love she found strung throughout them. The two jumped up as they looked around as the door closed and a red light flashed brightly. Starfire and Robin's eyes went wide as they realized that when the alarm goes off with light and buzzer, someone is breaking in.
"Robin!"
He saw her look of fear and took her hand, squeezing it reassuringly as he pulled his mask back into place, turning to her with the calmest look he could muster.
"Let's go."
"Titans! Who is…"
Robin froze dead in his tracks as snow billowed in from the door, nipping at his bare skin, and tormenting him further than the sight of the person before him. The world began to spin, everything became unfamiliar, all except for that man, the one he had hated so thoroughly…
Slade.
"Greetings, Robin," Slade's voice was calm and monotonous as it normally had been, as he glanced over at Terra, who stepped back a bit as Beastboy held her hand tightly and Slade laughed softly, "I see you have taken in the nobody."
Beastboy growled angrily at the malicious villain.
"SHE IS NOT A NOBODY!" He screamed in rage as he transformed into a lion and jumped into the air, aiming directly for Slade. Suddenly Slade spun around, kicking him in the face, sending him flying into the north wall, a sickening snap resounding through the air as he made contact with the stone, transforming back into his human body, his nose bleeding rapidly, and his arm visibly broken.
Robin looked down at his injured friend and became even more angered as Slade spoke.
"It seems you still have yet to train your weaklings into heroes, Robin."
"THEY ARE NOT WEAK! WHAT DO YOU WANT SLADE?!" Robin's voice was full of malice and hate towards the evil presence, and Starfire squeezed his hand, and Robin glanced at her, backing off somewhat as Slade let off an indignant noise.
"It matters not what I want, it matters what I have learned; it appears you take orders from the girl, am I correct?"
Robin growled, releasing Starfire's hand.
"Leave Star OUT of this, Slade!!"
Slade's laugh poured into his ears and he grinded his teeth, his fists balling together, drowning out the sobs emitting from Terra as Raven calmly tried to heal him.
"Boy, It seems you have a weakness."
"I DON'T DO WEAK!"
"Then you don't love the girl."
Robin stepped back quickly, his eyes widening, all anger leaving his face, a look of shock quickly replacing that emotion. That hit him hard. Slade was actually right… Starfire was his weakness, and if she wasn't, he didn't love her in any way, in any form. Robin came to realize that and he smiled cockily.
"Then I admit it! I do have a weakness, and it is her! And even though she may be my weakness, she adds to my strength as well, because love conquers a lot more than pure hate, Slade! And that makes you weak, because you have never loved!"
Slades eye widened and narrowed as he screamed, running towards Robin, and Robin froze, his reaction not being quick enough. Slade hit him in the chest, knocking the air out of him, then grabbed him by his hair, throwing him into the ground, a scream emitting from the boys mouth. The angered villain lifted his head and smashed it back into the ground, again, and again, and again, ignoring everyone's screams of fear as blood began to fly.
"I may have never loved…" Slade spoke with all his breath as he continued smashing Robin's skull into the floor, blood beginning to stain his armor.
"But you shall never love AGAIN!"
"NOOO!!"
Suddenly, Slade flew into the wall, and bounced right back into the ground, and was attacked by an fury-filled Starfire. She slammed his head in to the ground, raised him into the air and threw him again into the wall. She grabbed his leg, smashing him into the floor, then stepping on his neck and pressing down, his hands raising to her foot, desperate to remove it, his helpless squeaks going right over her.
"NOBODY…" She pressed harder onto his neck, "HURTS… My boy."
She removed her foot from his neck and she glared, her eyes glowing ominously.
"Leave." Slade stood up, and ran out, holding his half-cracked mask in place as he did so. (A/N: Yes, I know, slade running away, wayyy OOC, well, IDC!!:D)
Starfire closed the door, immediately turning to where Robin lay, rushing to his side. She stared at his unmoving body, the only sign of life being shallow breathing from his mouth. He fought to turn his bloody head, which had a rather large gash on the back. He opened his unbruised eye, staring at the blur before him, which steadied and soon became Starfire.
"S…Star…?"
She looked at him, picking him up gently and cradling him in her arms.
"It is I, Robin."
He looked at her again, then smiled contently, falling limp into her arms, and she noticed he was no longer breathing.
"Robin? Robin?! Please, no! No, don't go! You can't leave me! Robin! PLEASE! NO! ROBIN!!"
